I. Introduction of FIFA Golden Globe Award

The FIFA Golden Globe Award is a combination of the former FIFA World Player of the Year and the Golden Globe Award selected by the 20 10 French Football Magazine. The award is awarded once a year to the most outstanding football player in the previous year. The awards are jointly selected by national men's football coaches, captains and global journalists. The award date is 65438+ 10 every year.

Previously, the Golden Globe Awards, organized by French Football magazine and voted by journalists, were generally awarded in 65438+February. Before 1994, only those with European citizenship were granted. FIFA's World Player of the Year is voted by the national team coach and players. So it may happen that if you win the Golden Globe, you may not win the World Footballer of the Year. After the merger of the two awards, the media, players and coaches voted together.

Before 1994, the Golden Globe Award was limited to players with European nationality; From 65438 to 0995, the selection targets were relaxed to players who played for football clubs belonging to union of european football associations member countries; Since 2007, the selection has been extended to all professional football players in the world, so the winners of the Golden Globe Award before 2007 are often called European Footballer of the Year.

Second, the Golden Globe Award Selection Rules

Since 2007, all countries outside Europe who have participated in the World Cup finals have the right to vote, and a jury composed of professional football journalists from various countries is responsible for the selection. In 2008, there were 96 judges from different countries. Each judge needs to write the names of five contestants from 1 to 5 points in turn. Starting from 1995, the player list must be a list of 50 people proposed by French football.

Awards mainly follow the individual and collective performance of players, their quality, career, personality and reputation. In the end, the person with the highest total score will get a prize, and if there is an equal score, another round of voting will be held. The jury of the 20021Golden Globe Award is composed of 180 journalists from all over the world. According to the performance and honor of the players and their teams in the past year, the winners of the Golden Globe Award are selected by voting.
